Innovation campaign promotes Lower Saxony as a place to study Prof Dr Martin Kühn, Endowed Professor of Wind Energy Systems at the University of Oldenburg, has exactly 180 seconds to arouse the interest of prospective students in wind energy. Together with six other university lecturers from Lower Saxony, he is taking part in an internet campaign with a so-called "banner lecture", which was launched on 17 October. It was launched by the "Innovative Lower Saxony" initiative and promotes Lower Saxony as a place to study.
In his short lecture entitled "Harvesting wind", Kühn introduces the Oldenburg degree programme "Engineering Physics" and discusses how long it takes to generate the same amount of electricity from offshore wind energy as from 100 ml of crude oil. He explains the difference between conventional electricity and electricity from offshore wind power. And all under difficult conditions: The Oldenburg scientist - like all the other university lecturers - had to give the lecture in a wooden box 75 centimetres wide and two metres high. Sometimes in an offshore survival suit.
Kühn's banner lecture can be viewed until 6 November on student internet platforms and websites as well as on the homepage of "Innovatives Niedersachsen". to the lecture
